Windshield safety

Automobile windshield safety

Your automobile windshield plays a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of your vehicle, especially in the event of a collision. In a front-end collision, the windshield can provide up to 45% of the cabin’s structural strength, and in a rollover, this increases to as much as 60%. It’s not just about visibility; your automobile windshield is a crucial component of your vehicle’s safety system.

The windshield is an integral part of the safety restraint system (SRS) in your car. It prevents the roof from collapsing in a rollover, ensures airbags deploy correctly, and helps protect you and your passengers from being ejected during a serious collision. That’s why it’s essential that your automobile windshield replacement is done with precision and high-quality materials. Check out our Windshield Replacement FAQ’s page for more information.

Trained and Certified Specialists

Finding a certified auto glass technician is critical to ensuring a proper automobile windshield replacement. At Glas Tek, our specialists are not only highly trained and certified but also dedicated to your safety.

Fast-Curing Urethane for Safe Drive-Away Times

We use only premium urethane adhesives that are both safe and reliable, tested to surpass rigorous federal safety standards. Why is this important? The urethane acts as the bonding agent between your automobile windshield and the pinch weld. If this bond fails, your windshield could detach, endangering lives. Our fast-curing urethane ensures a strong bond while minimizing drive-away time. In Phoenix, Arizona, our typical safe drive-away time ranges from one to six hours, depending on environmental conditions. Check out our Nationwide Lifetime Warranty.

Rust-Free Windshield Pinch Weld

A rust-free pinch weld is crucial for a secure windshield installation. Any untreated rust or scratches on the pinch weld can compromise the adhesive bond, leading to potential windshield failure during impact. At Glas Tek, we meticulously prepare the pinch weld to ensure it is free from rust and properly primed, offering maximum adhesion and safety for your automobile windshield replacement.

Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves for Contamination-Free Installation

We take every precaution to ensure that your automobile windshield replacement is done right. Our technicians wear powder-free nitrile gloves to prevent any contamination of the bonding surfaces. Oils and contaminants can weaken the adhesive bond, so we maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.
